After 2 months of hard work, I present to you Cold Blue, an AU MAP that follows Bluestar, manipulated by Mapleshade because of their similar stories. I am surprised I haven't seen that much AU's with Bluestar and Mapleshade since they had such similar stories, so I decided to make my own.
I was heavily inspired by the following animations to create this MAP (which are more or less obvious) :
Little Pistol : • Bluestar's Little Pist...
Buy the Stars : • ☆Buy the Stars | Holly...
Hollyfawn : • HOLLYFAWN [Complete Ho...
More about the AU :
Instead of Crookedstar, it's Bluestar who's manipulated by Mapleshade. To keep Crookedstar in the story, he becomes Bluestar's mate instead of Oakheart (and as a reference to the Gathering scene between Bluefur and Crookedjaw in the canon books).
Mapleshade promises to Bluefur that she is going to become a leader instead of Thistleclaw if she's willing to do sacrifices. Bluefur accepts, but gets pregnant not long after. Mapleshade suggests to give her future kits to Crookedstar, which Bluefur finaly ends up doing. Mosskit dies like in the canon books, and Bluefur is devastated. Bluestar finaly gets her nine lives but is still traumatized by the loss of her daughter.
The Redtail/Oakheart battle is also included here, but as neither Tigerclaw or Oakheart exist in this AU, it's Stonefur who dies and Mapleshade who's responsible of it by pushing the rocks on him and Redtail. Redtail is able to run to ThunderClan's camp, and tells Bluestar what had just happened. But Bluestar having a really bad mental state already at this point, still grieving over Mosskit's loss and being manipulated by Mapleshade, she ends up killing Redtail in a burst of rage.
This leaves her a bloody permanent mark on her face, in reference to the Little Pistol animatic by Nifty-Senpai. But instead of the canon events, she inflicted this bloody mark herself.
Mapleshade ends up revealing she wasn't from StarClan, and explaining she did this for revenge. Bluestar loses her faith in StarClan, symbolised by the broken star on her chest + the breaking stars scene. As Tigerstar/claw doesn't exist, it's Mapleshade who makes the rabbit trail with Brindleface's body, and Swiftpaw and Brightpaw still face the consequences of Bluestar's madness.
A dog appears and kills Mistyfoot. In a last flash of energy, Bluestar pushes the dog and herself in the gorge. When she touches the bottom of the river, Mapleshade's kits are released from their malediction since their mother got her revenge, and the dog reveals itself being Mapleshade since the begining. She won, and Bluestar ends up dying alone in the deep waters of the river, like Mapleshade's kits did.
